The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a South African national allegedly found with cocaine and a grandmother suspected of dealing in cannabis in separate operations.
The arrests formed part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to disrupt the distribution of illicit drugs and apprehend individuals suspected of involvement in the drug trade.
According to the NDLEA, the suspects were taken into custody following intelligence-led operations by its personnel. The agency is expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged offences and determine the next steps in the cases.
The arrest of the foreign national highlights the agency’s continued monitoring of suspected drug trafficking activities, while the detention of the elderly woman underscores its efforts to tackle the circulation of cannabis.
The NDLEA has repeatedly warned that it will continue to pursue individuals suspected of trafficking and distributing prohibited substances across the country.
The agency also urged members of the public to provide credible information that could assist its officers in identifying drug trafficking networks and preventing the spread of illicit substances.
